The Chester May Festival gets underway today and looks as though conditions are looking to be nice and sunny for the event, which is perfect timing.

There are seven top quality races across the three-day event so there’s plenty to look out for. This festival will be broadcast live on ITV, so it’s worth pointing out that the well-known bookmaker bet365 will be offering both ITV 4/1 and Price Promise offers. You can, of course, access all of the odds on mobile devices including bet365 for Android and iPhone. Click on the interactive image below to check out the latest rolling odds and place a bet :

How ITV 4/1 works:

Back any single winner at 4/1 or more on any race televised live on ITV or ITV4 and you can have a risk free bet to the same stake (up to £50*) on the next race broadcast live by ITV Racing. This offer applies to the FIRST single bet placed by a customer on each live ITV or ITV4 race.

If your risk free bet also wins at odds of 4/1 or more, you qualify for a risk free bet on the next live ITV or ITV4 race. Keep backing those winners and bet365 will keep giving you risk free bets! If your risk free bet loses, your stake (up to £50*) will be refunded to your account.

This offer will not apply where a stake has been fully Cashed Out. Where a stake has been partially Cashed Out, any refund amount or subsequent risk free bet amount will be equal to the remaining active stake. Where more than one selection in the same race is placed on the same bet slip, the first selection is deemed to be the one which is highest on the bet slip. Bets must be paid for and placed in the usual way. Ante-Post bets, Enhanced Win bets, Cover Bets, Tote/Pari-Mutuel (bets and dividends), and ‘Not to Win’ bets are not applicable for this offer.

T&Cs apply.

Little Sidekick’s tips would have left you with an overall profit of £28.80 for the whole of the Royal Ascot meeting-a good week’s racing and some of the bookies money in our pockets at the end of the meeting.

Little Sidekick’s horses ran like the Italian world cup team played, tired and lacking energy. For the first time a loss was registered of 39.40 points. Recovery mission tomorrow. Current balance for the meeting 58.80 points in profit.

Can Little Sidekick continue his profitable run ? Well today’s tips will include some big priced runners-try an E/W accumulator on all 5!!! £98.20 profit so far-we are playing with the bookies money today !!

PATIENCE ALEXANDER 14.30 should start off our day in winning fashion 5pts E/W

WIGMORE HALL 15.05 has the experience to be placed at a big price 5pts E/W

With 3 winners from 5 selections, Little Sidekick ended day 3 of the Royal meeting with a profit of 82 points -£82 if 1 point is £1. In total the followers of Little Sidekick are currently 98.2 points ahead to a 1 point level stake. (£98.20)

A disappointing run by the classy Treve almost stopped us in our tracks but Muteela in the last saved the day and as a result we only registered a tiny loss of 1.3 points for our day’s investments. Still well ahead as we look forward to day 3 tomorow.

Sole Power at 5-1 was the highlight of the day with two of the other selections a close second-total revenue of 52.5 points against an outlay of 35 points gives us a first day profit of 17.5 points-to a £1 per point stake this equates to a first day profit of £17.50-

Despite the large fields there is value to be had at the Royal meeting given the sheer class of the runners entered- Following Little Sidekick’s profitable Cheltenham festival he is now aiming to provide followers once again with a profit at the end of the meeting.

The O’Brien’s rarely finish the Royal Meeting without multiple winners and

VERRAZANO 5pts E/W 14.30 is taken to give them a flying start.
